But as it ywrht possibly lead others into a the>ng channel of thinking, I deem it prin<duty to make a brief reply aad en- ^ten the writer a little.

His office duties require aconsiderable portion of his time, asjevery one is aware, and it is utterlyimpossible for him to look after all theroads of the county and attend to hisffice work too, especially at this seasonof the year. Everybody knowsthat during the winter months, whenthere is so much rain and freezingweather, that the roads cannot be keptin good order, and possibly some ofthem do eet in very bad condition.But, as I hare already said, il is the3uty of the overseers to look after theroads over which they have charge,wd if they find them impassable to?ut them in order and not wait on thempervisor to order them to have themworked.Now, Mr. Editor, I have written aittle more than I intended at the outlet,aB I believed that it wonld requireml a few plain words to convince anySir-minded person that I am not to bo>lam?d for the bad roads about Backick.I have always tried to do myluty as supervisor as conscientiouslyis Iconld, and I believe the publicgenerally will bear me oat in thin.ssertion.
